The 2010 Syncline Carignan-Grenache is a blend of 64% Carignan and 36% Grenache from McKinley Springs Vineyard. We love the winery’s own description, “Wild and untamed, this wine contains substance and personality; certainly not prim and proper, but rarely are the best of times….Meaty, spicy aromas and bramble fruit flavors cavort with a refined texture and persistent finish.” The 2010 Syncline Mourvèdre is made with fruit from Coyote Canyon and Alder Ridge Vineyards. Again quoting the website description, the wine shows “juicy pomegranate, cassis, and savory flavors with hints of herbs de Provence complemented by a rich, layered mouthfeel and bright finish.”

Château Haut-Vigneau is located in the commune of Martillac, a 20 hectare parcel that produces a red wine typical of its Pessac-Léognan appellation. Owner Eric Perrin strives to produce a truly classic wine, expressing both the power and the finesse of its fruit. The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot grown in deep Garonnaise gravel. It is aged in 20% new barrels that give it mocha notes. Pleasing aromas of black fruits—blackberries and black currants combine with a subtle smoky aroma. It is rare to see a true Pessac-Léognan wine at a $20 price. This is our deal of the month.
